Welcome
James said you might be converting it into a track car. What are your plans?

I wouldnt say a track only car per say, but it will be getting some major attention to the brakes and suspension and a few other goodies. My plans from the start were for solo2 and that hasnt changed (been in an E/SP talon for a few years now and i needed a change) Debating doing some solo1 with it, but im not sure i could live with the risk at this point. Other than that it will be a sweet summer toy.

Dunno, but he is over on beyond.

Maybe I should slap a single turbo on my car and show him why he shoulda kept the FD.

Haha, no doubt. But that is the advantage to a Supra though. EASY Horsepower. I've seen Supra's that make over 500 at the wheels without any internal mods. Maybe some minor head work and thats it.


When I was in California a while ago, there was this red Supra that made 1042HP at the wheels. The guy drove it to work everyday. It was in a magazine or something awhile back.


1042WHP

Daily Driver


Only an american would think of such a combination. Except maybe Max. He's special.

Supra's can take up too about 800HP without any internal mods, the inside of those 3.0L's are bullet proof, to put it lightly, but i would still own an RX 7 over a supra anyday. i think the RX 7 would be funner to play with:P

Simply put:

Nobody does up RX-7's. Its always other cars. You rarely see a well modded or built RX-7. James' was an excellent example of a well rouned RX-7.

I know reg at RTCS (or something like that) has a really high hp supra... I think its over 800hp (but dont quote me on that) other than that i dont know the details.

And yea the car is beautiful, when i looked at it i went into it thinking that it better REALLY impress me to even consider it... Well i didnt have to think that hard before i picked it up.

There was another guy in town with a Supra that had over 800HP. He'd built up a second gen Supra until it wasn't good for anything but 1/4-mile. He got the Supra and told me "I'm only going to do wheels and exhaust". I said "bull ****". Next thing I know, I see videos on the internet of his new car dynoing over 700hp.
